Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Raxacorico]

This is what I was kinda able to make out of it when squinting so hard, my veins almost popped lmao

[ercarp]

Garrosh's Escape confirmed.

Yes... It's all coming together.

[Chickat]

A revamped UI with full customization/movement of ALL UI elements (a la FF14, etc), and baking in some of the popular addon functionality (Bartender, Bagnon, coords, auto-vendor, better transmog/mount/pet/collectible filters, etc.), 4k textures, better font rendering with improved drop shadows would be much welcome. I could dump most of my addons.

Other than the horbars I feel like wows ui is much better and more visually appealing. Like their system UI look really nice. Garrison ui or convenant UI look really nice and ff have grey static boxes.

[Merryck]

It would make no sense for them to set it in the past with all the setup they have been doing in the present.

Also some of ya'll need to get your eyes checked because that is definitely an orc ...

Wrath of the Garrosh leak for all that missed it..

I think at this point it's pretty safe to say that all of this is completely correct.

[Chickat]

Yeah but that's different than adding a new class and it not being at least somewhat related to the expansion.

Tbh I think they made the choice to have a dragon class over a necromancer or dark ranger. They didn't want to add 2 classes in a row and knew dragons would be more appealing. Just my head cannon.

[Teriz]

There's a few things you could have. Arcane based weapon charging, an Arcane-based healing pet, a healing spec where wounds are cauterized, something like Spellblade Aluriel...you could really do about anything from a class design perspective. It's not that it couldn't potentially be shoehorned into the Mage or Druid setup, but it's similar to how Tinker isn't Engineering...it's about how it's implemented rather than what specific source they are using for their abilities.

Arcane Mages have Acrane Familiars, which act as pets for their duration. Arcane Mages also have an ability similar to Reverse Wounds in the Temporal Shield ability.

What do you mean weapon charging?

[Houle]

Wrath of the Garrosh leak for all that missed it..

this is the one bois
might as well cancel the announcement tomorrow blizz, we got all the info we need

[masilya111]

I bet on Wrath of the Wrathion

[FelPlague]

WoW doesn't need housing, it needs more character customization.



With the introduction of Adventure Plates in XIV (think business cards but for your character), I'm reminded of how lifeless characters are in WoW. My character is the vessel I use to do everything in the game, but it doesn't really feel like mine, the only distinguishing trait I can have is transmog.


WoW is a combat-centered game, I get that, but if we're pushing for them to spend time dedicating resources to non-combat content, especially vanity content, I'd rather them flesh out character customization a lot more. Blizzard has done a lot of great work on that front recently, but they are still below par. Every race needs 4x the amount of options and then other features too such as body-type options and different voices to choose from. A big undertaking no doubt, but I personally want them to take this route if they choose to make a big investment in non-combat content again like they did with Garrisons or Pet Battles.

which i find funny as playin ff14 recently i found wow has almost more customization, glamour is far more annoying and limited then transmog, there is NO class customization, if you are X class you play Y way and that is it. there is no trinkets or proc gear so you cant even customioze that way

for example my ff14 charecter had 3 face options, and that chose both the face structure and the HORNS.
wow meanwhile has WAAAY more then that, and seperates face from horns as an option.

[Darkarath]

I don't think any of these are correct though.

- Garrosh was never born in Alternate Draenor. The alternate Grommash had a child but with another woman and it's another character entirely. Here : https://wowpedia.fandom.com/wiki/Exarch_Hellscream
- Our Garrosh is dead, has been sent to Revendreth to be milked then ended up in SoD where he literally got obliterated. He's simply gone now. It was a small plot point and nod to players like many other characters they brought back during SL, nothing foreshadowing of the future.
- There is no relationship between Garrosh and Zaela but mutual respect. The rest is only fanfic. Cfr. the "Trivia" section of this page : https://wowpedia.fandom.com/wiki/War...aela?so=search

- If the son of AU Grommash appears at some point, he will look like Garrosh. I doubt that they will not take the chance to bring "Garrosh" again in that way.

- I understand your PoV, and it is definitively a possibility, but the ashes that we see at the end of Garrosh cinematic could easily be from the armor or weapons that the boss had. Again, I really think that they have left the door open to bring MU Garrosh back.

- Finally, that relation of self respect with Zaela could easily have been something else. I do not think that if suddenly a son from Garrosh and Zaela appears anyone would object against It.

Garrosh's Escape confirmed.

Escape from what? Being a pile of soulash?

[wombinator04]

It's AU AU Garrosh. An Alternate Alternate Universe Garrosh.

[Rae888]

At this point I don’t believe anything except the direct leak of the name from the website. At least tomorrow will be exciting like this.

[Alexjimithing]

Just pull a Star Wars: The Last Skywaker

Khadgar looks at the camera, “Somehow, Garrosh has returned.”

[Chickat]

Elune is a dragon confirmed!

What if Elune is a life mother dragon and the expansion is dragon isles emerald dream and elunaria. Dragon based life expansion. No void or infinite flight. No galakrond or chromatus. White evil Elune.

[Cheezits]

I still think it could be Garrosh and Zaela's son who has grown up through magic or a timeskip.

More likely is that it's a Vrykul though, especially with the toga. What self respecting Cinematic Orc would wear anything covering the chest???

[scrappybristol]

This is a flashback.

The Orc is Zuluhed the Whacked.

This 100%

Look at Alexstrazsa disposition:



It's clearly a submissive one.

Probably a good portion of the cinematic is Alexstrasza narrating her life from the fight with Galakrond to being dominated by Zuluhed to the fight with Deathwing to current day.

[Cheezits]

So... maybe a tease/troll, but this week's Mog Monday on twitter is in Halls of Valor.
